02 · In Kathryn's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
My name is Kathryn Beccaria . You can call me Kat.
I am not going to think you are crazy. My counseling style is honest, non judgmental, and, accepting. I pride myself on my relationships with my clients and try to avoid too much jargon or what can feel sterile. I include my sense of humor in sessions and encourage you to do this same if it helps. I have experience working with clients and their families with interpersonal conflict, parenting struggles, sex and sexuality issues, ASD diagnosis, schizophrenia, bipolar personality disorder, as well as anxiety and depression. Client’s receiving therapy and their families can expect an inclusive and family systems approach to help navigate difficult issues such as stress from school or work, divorce or separation, custody issues, adoption. I am happy to assist in helping you find your happiness using a goal oriented approach. I hope for my clients to feel that they are in a safe, and comfortable environment. As a professional, I would offer unconditional positive regard to my clients while helping them navigate through difficult life situations. I believe in a systems approach and am open to seeing couples, and whole families when appropriate.
I am originally from NY, now living in the quiet suburbs of PA with my large blended family. I consider my self well seasoned and well traveled -translation I have made a lot of good and bad decisions in my life too so I would never judge yours. I promise to offer unconditional positive regard as well as keep it real with you when you need a push.
I graduated Temple university and Chestnut Hill University. No matter what you are going through I am here to help and I look forward to working with you!

03 · What happens next
Kathryn practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Kathryn's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Kathryn at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Kathryn is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Kathryn.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Kathryn actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Kathryn's - Kathryn has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
